Christmas is the tamale season for many families. One mom from the extended KPBS family tells us how she makes them.

Formed in 2015, Flasher was born out of Washington, D.C.’s newly resurgent underground music scene. In that context, the trio stood out. They were urgent and wiry, but could also convey a cool and authentic tenderness. A year later, when the city was leaden with post-election gloom, Flasher could remind you – however fleetingly – that pleasure was still a possibility. They released an EP and a 7” single on Sister Polygon Records before joining Domino for Constant Image. The record was critically adored and ceaselessly toured. When the D.C. trio finally took a breath nearly two years later it was at an unmistakable high point. Flasher had hit the road alongside its heroes, scored spots on festival bills, and packed hometown shows. This is an 21+ event SOCIALS: Facebook Twitter Instagram

From the organizers: "So The Last Shall Be The First..." In October 2010, Camera Lucida performed the very last string quartet of Beethoven, the Quartet in F major, Opus 135. Not only the last of his string quartets, Opus 135 is in fact Beethoven's last full composition, completed in October 1826, months before his death. With that performance, Camera Lucida initiated an extended survey of all sixteen quartets of Beethoven – not in one weekend, or in one season, but over years. In certain years we presented only one quartet; in some, more than one. These complex, intensely demanding works were situated in the familiar habitat of music by Haydn, Schubert, Dvorak, Brahms, surrounded by the avatars of that intoxicating and abundant world, 19th century European chamber music. Perversely, we programmed the Beethoven cycle in backwards order from the last to the first, working in reverse historical time, but forwards in lived time. We hoped to trace the mysteries of this music back to its beginnings, from the enigmas of the late quartets, to the almost embarrassing opulence and exhibitionism of the middle quartets, back to the initial salvo of six quartets published as Opus 18 in 1801. The penultimate installment of our cycle was the Quartet in c minor, Opus 18 No. 4, on February 10, 2020. And then the world pandemic stopped us in our tracks. Camera Lucida returns on Monday, November 7 to the Conrad Prebys Concert Hall to complete our task. As the last chapter in this quixotic endeavor, 12 years after its inception, we will present the very first of Beethoven's quartets, the String Quartet in (again!) F major, Opus 18 No. 1. Our program includes the Piano Trio in E-flat major of Haydn, as well as Dvorak's Piano Quintet in A major. We rejoice in welcoming you back to our concert hall, and to the sounds, vibrations, and shimmering resonances of the illuminated chamber, Camera Lucida.
